Make Your Damn Bed

When we forgive ourselves for behaving like a human in the past, we give ourselves permission to live freely in the future. Let yourself have the space it actually takes to learn, grow, and become. Be open to challenge but patient with yourself in the process.Resistance is required for building strength, but so is the rest period that follows. Focus on the enjoying the process and the product will simply be a cherry on top of the reality you’ve created. If we honor our current selves by understanding what we need in the moment without disregarding who we’d like to embody in the future, we make bridging the gap between the two, much simpler. Next steps become more obvious, and we are less likely to exhaust ourselves by misdirecting energy to places we are not or don’t want to be.

if you have the capacity to do some reflecting, the beginning of the year makes for good excuse as any to check in. We won’t be able to change what we don’t see. And sometimes it’s about opening our eyes to the place we are right now by taking a moment to honor the person we were just last year. Iif you’re at a place to do so, take note of your life by asking yourself some reflective questions. The aim is to be honest and vulnerable, without getting judgmental about it. Here are some questions to encourage self-reflection:1. How did I show up for myself?2. How have I changed? 3. How have I grown? 4. What did I learn?5. What are some ways I showed up for others this year?6. Where did I make things harder for myself?7. Where can I make things easier for myself next year?8. What can I celebrate? How can I honor the work I put in?9. What do I feel like enhancing + integrating more of?10. How can I show up for myself even more next year?11. What did I prioritize last year? 12. What do my habits look like? 13. Where does most of my energy go?14. What would a life well lived look like to you?15. What regrets do you hope to avoid in the future?16. What did I overcome this year?17. What did I release?18. What did I improve?WATCH: www.youtube.com/juliemericaGET A MONTHLY NOTE FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comBUY SOME MERCH: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/make-your-damn-bed-podcast?ref_id=27657TUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

The inspiration for the episode: libraford: I think part of the issue is people assuming that everyone MUST want to move upwards. Like... it's the next logical step for a person to want to move up the chain: from worker to manager, to district manager, eventually owner. But I always think of growth like plants. Aspens grow tall to reach the sun, for sure. But dandelions grow deep, understanding themselves fully so that if some misguided fool tries to uproot them they'd have to try damn hard. And then there's thyme and other creeping plants, which spread themselves out so much that if you chop a part of it off it roots wherever it can find dirt to root in. It's okay not to have lofty dreams. You know what kind of plant you are better than anyone else.WATCH: www.youtube.com/juliemericaGET A MONTHLY NOTE FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comBUY SOME MERCH: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/make-your-damn-bed-podcast?ref_id=27657TUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

Without knowledge of our personal values, we can’t become the self-aware badasses we want to be. Knowing yourself means becoming self aware of the things that make us want to get out of bed each day. By identifying what we value personally, and getting to know it, we can check in with our behaviors to ensure we’re aligning with our values in a way that directs our lives towards what we truly believe in. RESOURCES: https://brenebrown.com/resources/dare-to-lead-list-of-values/WATCH: www.youtube.com/juliemericaGET A MONTHLY NOTE FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comBUY SOME MERCH: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/make-your-damn-bed-podcast?ref_id=27657TUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

Let’s stop policing how others live their lives.

CW: (anti-fat bias, ED) - lately, I've been in a bit of a funk and it took me a while to realize that my aversion to considering anything about my 'weight' or 'body' was part of the problem. It's taken me years to unlearn the insecurities gifted to me by a capitalistic society built on shame + guilt, and it's taken me even longer to realize the size of the shadow that has been cast because of it. Redirecting my self-criticism and unlearning my propensity for self-hatred has made my life more infinite and abundant than 'society's perfect body' ever could.

The real art of empathy requires us to pay attention to the needs of others, without sacrificing our own. BUY SOME MERCH: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/make-your-damn-bed-podcast?ref_id=27657WATCH: www.youtube.com/juliemericaGET A MONTHLY NOTE FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

Remember, being empathetic is a kind way to respond to people’s emotional experiences, but isn’t helpful if we’re not conscious of how that is affecting our own. When we direct all of our attention outward, we become unbalanced + disconnected from our own needs - which makes us less effective at addressing anyone’s needs (our own or someone else’s). It’s easy to become codependent (mirror moods, chameleon your energy to appease, anticipate other people’s needs) and lose sight of your independence out of fear of “upsetting others”. Check in with yourself by asking things like: Am I resentful of other people’s emotions + lack of gratitude, am I having trouble setting boundaries, am I struggling with putting your own emotional wellbeing above my perceived predicted reactions of others, am I unable to communicate clearly so I often resort to passive aggressive comments instead? BUY SOME MERCH: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/make-your-damn-bed-podcast?ref_id=27657WATCH: www.youtube.com/juliemericaGET A MONTHLY NOTE FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

Sympathy is recognizing + understanding someone else’s situation. Empathy is sharing in it. Sympathy typically focuses more on my personal experience or my own instinctual reaction to your situation, whereas empathy is more based on me feeling into the situation and being there with you, in that experience. To practice healthy empathy, we must be willing to get vulnerable with our feelings without centering ourself in the experience.

Josefin Hedlund rocked me with this mind-blowing article: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/transformation/revolutionary-love/ and I had to share it with you. "Instead of seeing love as some mystical thing that just happens to us, we should follow Bell Hooks idea in All About Love and see love as a verb. It is a practice that we do, and that we have been socialized into doing differently along gender lines. Hooks points out how patriarchal capitalist society promotes love as dominating, competing and a 'property-style' care relationship. Men are of course best at practicing love in this way, and hooks is very skeptical of how manipulating and dominating is so intertwined with masculinity and heterosexual dynamics."WATCH: www.youtube.com/juliemericaGET A MONTHLY NOTE FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

I tend to get quickly attached to people who are emotionally unavailable because it resembles the patterns I am trying to heal from my childhood. The more aware I get of this pattern, the less likely I am to attempt to hold the "wrong" people (for me) to standards they can't/won't/shouldn't meet. You're good enough - regardless of who has made you feel otherwise in your lifetime. Trust me. You're worthy of love. Just don't get lost in the sauce of "proving" that to yourself through the actions of others.

we often feel the pull to focus on where we lack + the reasons why we lack; but lately I've noticed how focusing on bridging the gap between what is and what I most want, has made the gap feel so much smaller + more reasonable to address. Notice the lagging not the lacking, and do what you can to unite the what is to what you most desire.

recognizing the lack I feel when people are telling me they care about me has been a major wake up call - but realizing I put myself in partnerships that reaffirm my fears of being unlovable was even more important in the process.

After sharing yesterday's tips, I second guessed how many "rules" we're put out as a methodology - when in reality? People who we're connected to - don't need rules. They don't need regulations. They just need YOU to be you.

Since the pandemic, the idea of making eye contact with someone is more terrifying to me than a bathtub full of spiders.

How much of your sense of self worth relies on your relationship status? or the quality within them? Life gets better when we stop putting our self worth on partnerships + potential relationship status updates. Seeking connection is standard - but don't fall into the trap of feeling like YOU are the reason for gaps in our connectivity - or that YOU are less valuable bc it's not all sunshine + rainbows.

Staying objective in a relationship has been a CHORE for me (personally) so I work real hard - especially at the beginning of relationships to stop with the romanticizing + start getting real with what IS, rather than what I hope will be.WATCH: www.youtube.com/juliemericaGET A MONTHLY NOTE FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

We must come to terms with the fact there is often more than one right way to do something successfully. Learn when to step back, when to step up, and when to step in.
